what i wore wednesday

hellooo! welcome to our weekly edition of what i wore wednesday! if you are new here and think i’m crazy for posting pictures of what i wear each week, you’re right. but there actually is a reason behind it: i needed some motivation to get out of my pjs and sweats so i started posting pics of myself to use my blog as an accountability platform. and guess what?! it totally worked! now, i still definitely lounge around in cozies, but its much less often and i feel so much better when i put a little effort into myself. if you’d like to join us, link up at the bottom of this post! there really aren’t any rules, just as long as its some sort of a fashion post, not a craft project or anything!

wow, i look thrilled to have my pics taken! i was working, it was late, and sean was kind enough to oblige.

top and jeans – forever 21

sandals – target

necklace – thrifted from ruby rose

even though its summer, it still is chilly in the mornings and evenings here, so i pretty much still live in cardigans.

cardi – target

i *loved* this outfit! i felt so bold mixing stripes with floral, then adding the belt.

cardi, belt & top – forever 21

trouser jeans – target

wedge sandals – old navy

as much as i loved the cardi with the outfit, it was too hot this day to wear it, so i just wore the top solo. and still loved it. super comfy and forgiving.

i think i may take more pictures here – i love the light above my kitchen sink!

so if you wanna get really crazy and join me this week, link up below. if you are hesitant and don’t know how, its really easy. just copy and paste the url form your post, not from your blog (ex: http://thepleatedpoppy.com/2011/06/what-i-wore-wednesday-26/ not http://thepleatedpoppy.com/blog/). click the link below and it will walk you through the steps needed!

Im not sure exactly where to start:
1) your office/craft room is amazing. I think I could live there.
2) That second outfit (striped cardigan) with the floral top is genius. I never would have thought to combine the two. And thats why I love wiww.
3) you look awesome in wide leg trousers :) 4) and Im really lovin all the color combinations in your last outfit!
4) I bet that cookie was yummy :)

Love how you’re moving around the house for your photos! My spot in the kitchen is getting really boring! LOL. And I love your layering combos. It’s too hot here for layering so I feel like my WIWW posts are getting really repetitive!!

Wow, I love the striped skirt outfit!! I think the shoes sealed the deal with me! I would have never thought to match the necklace and shoes and not worry about the colors in the outfit. Genius. And it really worked!! :)

Love the outfits! I need to give Forever 21 another chance, I always feel so old when I go in there. Those cardis you have from Target, am I right in assuming they are not recent purchases? I can’t seem to find them!
